Almond-Honey yum

I've stopped trying to categorize if I make a bread, a cake, a muffin, or some thing else. Since the kids call everything I put in the oven "yum" I'll go with that.

1 C Butter
1 C honey
1 C almond butter
4 eggs
2/3 C Tapioca
2/3 C millet
2/3 C brown rice
1 1/3 C oats
2 tsp baking soda
1 TBS gum

Cream butter. Add honey and cream some more. Add almond butter and cream even more. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Slowly add the dry stuff then portion into containers to bake @ 350°F.

This is the first recipe in a while that I haven't had cinnamon or vanilla in, but Chris says they will be yummy. They went into the muffin cups well so that's always a plus. I'll update with a picture, though it won't be much different than a lot of other pictures.

Yard Work (Again)

It has finally dried out enough here to finish the swing set.  We set it in place and Chris finished it over the weekend. Then amazingly both kids wanted to do nothing but play on it.  Today when A came home from school the first thing she did was put on her mud shoes to go play.  The kids and I helped some. A couple of girls who live in an adjacent back yard noticed A out (and they go to school with her) and asked her and GMan to come play.  The kids jumped the two fences between our yard and theirs and played for HOURs both Saturday and again Sunday.  It is nice to meet a few more faces in the neighborhood.  If the kids were to walk on foot it would be about a quarter mile walk.  GMan is surprisingly adept at jumping fences we found out which surprised us since A is more of the climber than he is.
